carriers and packers; doing so, however, without any assumption of responsibility 
on its part for the acts and charges of the parties engaged for such service. 


IX. GUARANTY: The Association exercises great care to catalogue every 
lot correctly and endeavors therein and also at the actual time of sale to point out 
any error, defect or imperfection, but guaranty is not made either by the owner 
or the Association of the correctness of the description, genuineness, authenticity 
or condition of any lot and no sale will be set aside on account of any incorrect- 
ness, error of cataloguing or imperfection not noted or pointed out. Every lot is 
sold “as is” and without recourse. 

Every lot is on public exhibition one or more days prior to its sale, and the 
Association will give consideration to the opinion of any trustworthy expert to 
the effect that any lot has been incorrectly catalogued and in its judgment may 
thereafter sell the lot as catalogued or make mention of the opinion of such ex- 
pert, who thereby will become responsible for such damage as might result were 
his opinion without foundation. 

XX, RECORDS: ‘The records of the auctioneer and the Association are in all 
cases to be considered final and the highest bid shall in all cases be accepted by 
both buyer and seller as the value against which all claims for losses or damage 
shall le. , 

XI. BUYING ON ORDER: Buying or bidding by the Association for respon- 
sible parties on orders transmitted to it by mail, telegraph, or telephone, if condi- 
tions permit, will be faithfully attended to without charge or commission. Any 
purchases so made will be subject to the foregoing conditions of sale, except that, 
in the event of a purchase of a lot of one or more books by or for a purchaser who 
has not through himself or his agent been present at the exhibition or sale, the 
Association will permit such lot to be returned within ten days from the date of 
sale, and the purchase money will be refunded, if the lot differs from its catalogue 
description. 

Orders for execution by the Association should be given with such clearness 
as to leave no room for misunderstanding. Not only should the lot number be 
given, but also the title, and bids should be stated to be so much for the lot, and 
when the lot consists of one or more volumes of books or objects of art, the bid per 
volume or piece should also be stated. If the one transmitting the order is un- 
known to the Association, a deposit must be sent or reference submitted. Shipping 
directions should also be given. 

PRICED CATALOGUES: Priced copies of the catalogue, or any session there- 
of, will be furnished by the Association at charges commensurate with the duties 
involved in copying the necessary information from the records of the Association. 

These conditions of sale cannot be altered except by the auctioneer or by an 
officer of the Association.

CONDITIONS OF SALE 


I. REJECTION OF BIDS: Any bid which is not commensurate with the value 
of the article offered, or which is merely a nominal or fractional advance, may be 
rejected by the auctioneer if in his judgment such bid would be likely to affect the 
sale injuriously. 

Il. THE BUYER: The highest bidder shall be the buyer, and if any dispute 
arises between two or more bidders, the auctioneer shall either decide the same or 
put up for re-sale the lot so in dispute. 

Ill. IDENTIFICATION AND DEPOSIT BY BUYER: The name of the buyer of 
each lot shall be given immediately on the sale thereof, and when so required, each 
buyer shall sign a card giving the lot number, amount for which sold, and his or 
her name and address. 

A deposit at the actual time of the sale shall be made of all or such part of 
the purchase prices as may be required. 

If the two foregoing conditions are not complied with, the lot or lots so pur- 
chased may at the option of the auctioneer be put up again and re-sold. 

IV. RISK AFTER PURCHASE: Title passes upon the fall of the auctioneer’s 
hammer, and thereafter the property is at the purchaser’s risk, and neither the con- 
signor nor the Association is responsible for the loss of, or any damage to any 
article by theft, fire, breakage, however occasioned, or any other cause whatsoever. 

V. DELIVERY OF PURCHASES: Delivery of any purchases will be made 
only upon payment of the total amount due for all purchases at the sale. 

VI. RECEIPTED BILLS: Goods will only be delivered on presentation of a 
receipted bill. A receipted bill presented by any person will be recognized and 
honored as an order by the buyer, directing the delivery to the bearer of the goods 
described thereon. If a receipted bill is lost before delivery of the property has 
been taken, the buyer should immediately notify the Association of such loss. 

VII. STORAGE IN DEFAULT OF PROMPT PAYMENT AND CALLING FOR 

GOODS: Articles not paid for in full and not called for by the purchaser or agent 
by noon of the day following that of the sale may be turned over by the Associa- 
tion to some carter to be carried to and stored in some warehouse until the time 
of the delivery therefrom to the purchaser, and the cost of such cartage and stor- 
age and any other charges will be charged against the purchaser and the risk of 
loss or damage occasioned by such removal or storage will be upon the purchaser. 

In any instance where the purchase bill has not been paid in full by noon of 
the day following that of the sale, the Association and the auctioneer reserve the 
right, any other stipulation in these conditions of sale notwithstanding, in respect 
to any or all lots included in the purchase bill, at its or his option, either to cancel 
the sale thereof or to re-sell the same at public or private sale without further no- 
tice for the account of the buyer and to hold the buyer responsible for any de- 
ficiency and all losses and expenses sustained in so doing. 

VIII. SHIPPING: Shipping, boxing or wrapping of purchases is a business 
in which the Association is in no wise engaged, but the Association will, however, 
afford to purchasers every facility for employing at current and reasonable rates 


A FOREWORD 


T has been a number of years since New York has been introduced to such 

a collection of masterpieces of French painting, with kindred paintings by 

the British landscapists, Dutch marine artists and cattle painters, as is the 

C. K. G. Billings collection now presented by the American Art Association 

for public competition. It is a fresh reminder of the days and evenings at 

the American Art Galleries in Madison Square, at Chickering Hall, at Men- 

delssohn Hall—both those renowned old halls have passed out of the city life— 

at the Waldorf Astoria, which exists today as the American Art Association exists, 

in life ever renewed, ever renewing. But there is a difference in that neither 

New Yorkers nor Americans in general will be so likely to have things their own 

way with this Billings sale, for more than ever New York has become the world’s 

mart for the fine things of artistic production, and some of the Billings canvases 

are more likely to go abroad than to be retained here. The European collectors 
and dealers know them, and are keeping track of them. 

These paintings from the princely estate which Mr. Billings established at 
Fort Tryon Hall, on Washington Heights—since purchased by Mr. John D. 
Rockefeller jr. and probably eventually to become park property of the city—to- 
gether with a few more recent purchases by Mr. Billings, are to be offered at abso- 
lute unrestricted public sale because Mr. Billings has removed his home to Cali- 
fornia and finds even spacious bungalow life too confined in its surroundings, its 
housings, to afford areas for sympathetic contemplation of his masterpieces. He 
has therefore selected thirty-one of them, the cream and pride of his great collec- 
tion, to be offered once again to the great assemblage of picture lovers who are 
ever on the alert for the finest examples of famous schools of painting. 

One of the greatest and most sincere productions of “Old Crome,” “The Wil- 
low Tree,” from the M. C. D. Borden collection, is here. It was sought for the 
Crome Commemoration only four years ago, held at the painter’s birthplace, 
Norwich, England, in memory of his death in 1821. The National Gallery, of 
London, loaned some of its treasures for the commemorative exhibit, and the Lord 
Mayor of Norwich, Mr. George Green, wrote Mr. Billings as “the fortunate pos- 
sessor” of “one of Crome’s most famous paintings” and asked that “The Willow 
Tree” be loaned for the same occasion. 

Of eight great works by Corot three of the most celebrated are the “Lake 
Nemi” from the sensational sale of Twenty-one Masterpieces owned by the Phila- 
delphia amateur the late H. 8. Henry; “La Charrette de Grés” and ”Les Bai- 
gneuses des fles Borromées.” Another of interest is “Chateau Thierry’—a view 
from the ramparts which Corot painted in 1863 and including the church steeple, 


which the French master, Léon Lhermitte, told Mr. Roland Knoedler in 1920 was 
untouched by the Great War, adding that he remembered Corot painting the pic- 
ture, as it was then he first made the acquaintance of “Pére Corot.” 

Both these Corots, and others of the collection, are reproduced in the monu- 
mental publication on Corot’s work by Alfred Robaut and Moreau-Nelaton. 
Moreover, the provenience of all of Mr. Billings’ paintings is recorded in the 
catalogue, a record too seldom attained in these later days of haste and insufficient 
observation. 

A noteworthy canvas, even in this notable collection, is a remarkably forceful 
Millet, “Haystacks,” which, as the catalogue will show, has a particularly clear 
history from the time it left the artist’s hands. 

Not to be wearisome by repetition mention will only be made here of the out- 
standing “Gleaners, prés des Meules,” by Lhermitte; a wonderful Israéls, “Good 
Comrades,” Millet’s equally strong “Retreat from the Storm”; Rousseau’s re- 
markable “Bosquet d’Arbres”; Daubigny’s “La Saulaie”; Troyon’s “La Char- 
rette de Foin”; which with the other notable paintings will all repay study.

THE RETREAT FROM THE STORM 

A peasant woman and her son, who have been in the forest gathering fag- 
gots, have been caught in the first fierce gusts of a wintry gale, and they fight — 
their way homeward against the increasing blast. The mother supports the 
child, who is nearly exhausted in the struggle, by clutching his right arm at the | 
elbow. With a sturdy stride the vigorous peasant woman bends her head to the | 
gale, holding the faggots in her blue apron, tightly clasping the burden to 
breast. Her red petticoat is swept across her knees, and a large white shawl 
veloping her head floats far behind her in the wind. The light falls strongly 1 
the group from the left, bringing into vigorous relief the flesh and the wind- 


drapery against a lowering sky and sombre landscape. Ei aes.

A landscape of dense foliage on the oak trees, and deep greens on the swampy 
lands of the foreground, which enclose a small pool that reflects the light among 
the encompassing shadows. In the background lies a sunlit field under a sky 
which discloses a shower cloud overhead. On the right, before the oak trees, a 
peasant woman in white and red bends to gather faggots, her figure catching a 
glint of light which is reflected in the dark water below in the foreground.

CHATEAU THIERRY 


On the right, the walls of the chateau, along which extends a broad path bor- 
dered by a row of leafless trees, dominate a steep hillside which slopes down on 
the left, where the vista extends over the roofs of houses past a square church 
tower with many windows in a mysterious distance, suggesting a broad wooded 
hillside. The single figure of a peasant woman in a gray dress, with a red ker- 
chief over her head and a white sack thrown over her left shoulder, stands in the 
right foreground leaning upon a stick, and is strongly accentuated by the sunlight, 
which broadly illuminates the landscape, casting deep shadows upon the chateau 
walls, the roofs of the houses, the church tower and along the gravelly path under 
the trees. The sky is completely covered by a veil of soft luminous clouds.

IN THE FOREST OF FONTAINEBLEAU 


An immense oak tree rises from a knoll in the foreground, and with its tan- 
gled branches and deep ‘foliage covers a large part of the sky and extends out of 
the picture. Broken branches and various scars denote its great age, and its size 
is made apparent by the figure of a child crouching near the trunk, and a flock of 
sheep scattered over the grass nearby. A shaft of sunlight strikes the tree and the 
little knoll, casting a deep shadow on an irregular bank of bushes beyond to the 
left, and over the foreground to the right. In the distance is a flat plain with a 
sunlit hillside in the horizon. The sky is covered with rolling masses of cumuli, 
brilliantly illuminated by the sun behind the oak.

LA ROUTE 


A broad country road sweeps around from the foreground to the left, and 
disappears in the middle distance, beyond a roadside cottage overhung with tall 
trees. In the foreground on the right, a large church, with projecting roof, cor- 
ner buttresses, rude belfry and simple windows stands on a grassy bank, which is 
surrounded by a rough stone wall. To the right, in the immediate foreground, is 
a low, tiled building with green shutters, and near it is a country cart loaded with 
wood. The sky is completely covered with gray clouds, except near the horizon, 


where a narrow strip of sunlight shows through the trees.

LANDSCAPE WITH FISHERMAN 


A spacious landscape with distant reaches of meadow and low hills, under an 
active sky billowing with vaporous clouds. Light is distributed from the left, the 
left corner of the foreground being shadowed—and just beyond the shadows a 
fisherman’s thatched hut lies at the edge of the picture. Before it a sturdy and pic- 
turesque tree stands in the sunlight, its foliage betokening the turn of the season, 
near the border of a meandering stream. On the right a punt is shoved ashore on 
the right hand of the stream, and in it a fisherman is at work.

_ JEAN BAPTISTE CAMILLE COROT 


FRENCH: 1796—1875 


LANDSCAPE WITH LAKE AND RUIN 


A conspicuous feature of the composition is the ruin of a vast Gothic church, 
possibly an abbey, with two high towers at one end and a single tower remaining 
at the other end, through the bare openings of which show the gleams of a very 
white sky. Elevated above a group of houses, from which an arched bridge ex- 
tends, it occupies the end of a spit of wooded land. This forms the left bank of a 
lake that stretches from the bridge to the foreground. Here a man, wearing a 
gray-blue blouse and straw hat with red ribbon, sits fishing, while near him a 
girl stands knitting, beside a goat. She has bands of red ribbon in her dark hair, 
and her trim figure is clad in a purplish slaty gown. The grassy foreground, 
starred with white and red flowers, is inclosed at the sides by the soft gray foliage 
of willows. The trees on the right present a labyrinth of freely growing branches, 
while the two on the left are pollard willows.

LA SAULAIE 


The scene is translated into a delicate tonality of gray and brown, the gray 
tenderly suffused with rose, the brown with faint mellow green. Across the water 
on the left a woman stands watching two dull red cows that have stepped into the 
water and are drinking. Her black skirt makes a strong note against the grass, 
while the cool light strikes clearly on her white waist. Some little way back of 
her two tall slender poplars rise out of a mass of foliage, pale gray and dusky 
gray, relieved with a little olive and brown. To the right of this stands a single 
poplar, whence across the picture extends the farthest bank. It is edged with a 
line of willows that parts in the centre and shows a glimpse of faint lavender 
hills. Above them is a far-reaching sky of gray creamy vapor, faintly tinged with 
rose, in which float lazy wisps of rosy lavender and soft creamy clouds. Five 
birds are flying in the air and as many ducks appear in the front of the water. 
The latter gives back the tender hues of the sky, stirred with the darker tones re- 
flected from the vegetation. On the right of the water, where the reflections are 
dark olive, flecked with yellow, a punt is moored beside the bank. Here rises a 
clump of bushy willows, three of their stems showing white against the fluffy 
masses of olive-green and amber foliage. In front stands a slim birch with a sprin- 
kle of yellow leafage. On the right of it a vista of mossy grass, barred with deep 
green shadows, extends back to where three willow trunks reflect the light.

LE LAC—EFFET DE MATIN 


Beyond a screen of trees standing on a narrow foreground and extending their 
tops above the picture line, a silver-gray lake lies placid in a softened morning 
light—almost in a haze. The foreground and its leafage are a quiet green, a sil- 
ver birch lightens the mass of the tree trunks, and near the centre a woman is 
seated at the foot of a tree at the border of the water—a cow keeper, as one of her 
herd behind her indicates. Across the lake a hillside rises toward the left, under 
a light gray morning sky.

ARLEUX-PALLEUL—LE VIEUX PONT DE BRIQUES 


The bridge with its three arches crosses the middle distance. It is of stone 
with red brickwork inserted over the two left arches. Here above the parapet 
shows the blue back of a woman in a white cap, a clear bright accent against the 
masses of foliage, deep green relieved with gray and buff, in the rear of the bridge. 
To the right of this clump of trees a rolling country of sandy soil dips and rises, 
sprinkled with scrub, while on the left the bridge leads to a bright green knoll sur- 
mounted by cottages. Above the latter, springing from the lower level of the 
foreground, a single tree spreads its delicate boughs. The sky is a gray atmo- 
spheric blue, ruffled with downy cloudlets of milky-white. At the foot of the 
tree in the long grass sits a woman wearing a lavender waist and white cap, while 
nearer to the front stands a black-and-tan dog. On the right of the foreground 
the scene is further enlivened by a group of figures. ‘Two women are in conversa- 
tion, while a child carrying a baby stands between them. Another woman in a 
blue waist and bright yellow cap kneels as if picking flowers, and a man, wearing 
a crimson cap, is chopping the boughs off a “stick” of timber.

UNDER THE WILLOWS 


Under a hazy sky of springtime is shown a broad expanse of lowland mead- 
ows, with scarcely a suggestion of slightly rising ground in the distance, appear- 
ing in a faint blue against the grayish horizon. The meadows are in varied tones 
of green and through them comes a shallow brook, broadened in the immediate 
foreground, where it occupies all but the whole of the canvas. Here, in the centre 
of the composition, in the cool water and under the scant shade of a line of trees 
which edge the stream at the right, four cows stand in placid comfort. A white 
one tipped with black, facing away from the spectator, has raised her head to 
nibble at tender shoots of the young foliage. Another of like coloring, which ap- 
pears in different values in the higher light beyond the trees, is drinking of the 
waters at her feet between two other cows, one red and one black, all facing to the 
left, where, out of the water and heedless of them, another cow pokes her nose 
through a break in a farm fence. The day is quiet, with just a trace of motion in 
the slow flight of a bird or the drift of an occasional leaf.

BOSQUET D’ARBRES 


In this fine example of Rousseau’s art he has shown us his great analytical 
skill at its highest, the details of herbage, of trees, even of rocks and stones, being 
executed with the utmost fidelity. It is withal a most artistic conception, show- 
ing in every brushmark the hand of him whom all his contemporaries acknowl- 
edged as master of them all. Through the level countryside a narrow river wends 
its placid way. A few cows crop the sparse herbage which grows upon the rock- 
strewn meadow or drink from the many pools which bejewel the foreground. In 
the middle distance a few trees grow, outlined against the sky, making the absolute 
flatness of the landscape, if anything, more accentuated by their presence. The sky 
is a grayish-blue, largely overspread by the filmiest fleecy white clouds, the azure 
of its brightest spots being repeated in the waters of the pools.

LAKE NEMI 


On the bank in the foreground a girl sits, with her staff across her lap, watch- 
ing her cows that are standing in the water some distance back on the right. ‘The 
artist has given to the figure of this cowherd, as she leans her weight on one arm, 
the hand planted on the grass, and gazes over the water, the suggestion of a classic 
pose and dreamy feeling that seems atune with the mingling of naturalism and 
classic serenity in the composition and sentiment of the landscape. Over the 
water, cooled by the greenish gray reflections of the surrounding vegetation, the 
light floats softly toward the girl from the central distance. Here a low hill 
forms a lavender silhouette against the rosy suffusion of the lower sky. The latter, 
as it mounts, pales to a warm ivory and thence to ivory touched with blue, passing 
up into a faint dove-gray, barred with dipping strata of feathery tufts of white. 
Its tremulous expanse is bounded on the right and left by the wooded hills of the 
middle distance that form a V with the horizon, where a pile of buildings nes- 
tles at the foot of the left slope. The color of these hills is a greenish-gray. 
Pricked out in front of the one on the left is the dainty yellow, greensand brown 
leafage of a tree with a twisted interlacement of boughs, while on the right of the 
water rises a white birch trunk with a few tiny limbs frilled with leaves. ‘The 
cows beyond show spots of dull red and black, while the girl’s figure, in a yellow- 
ish drab skirt with a touch of blue on one sleeve and a golden-white kerchief, 
makes a piquant note in the foreground.

THE HAYSTACKS 


At a little distance from the hamlet, whose red and green tiled roofs are seen 
at the right, three haystacks have been erected on the level farm land, over 
which their fat bulk throws shadows. In the shade of one of them a red-capped 
shepherd is leaning on a stick, and here and there about him sheep are grazing. It 
is a Barbizon plain motive. Overhead a black, menacing cloud is being driven 
by the wind, threatening a violent storm, but all the landscape in the picture is in 
a bright, diffused light.

By JEAN BAPTISTE CAMILLE COROT 


JEAN BAPTISTE CAMILLE COROT 
FRENCH: 1796—1875 


LA CHARRETTE DE GRES 


An unusual Corot, combining the charm of tree and sky with an incident of 
every-day peasant life such as is very infrequently found among the artist’s work. 
In the centre of the picture, and the most prominent feature of the composition, 
stands a huge tree, with twisted trunk and great limbs which have spread their 
shade for many a decade. The dense mass of its foliage obscures the sky, the deep 
green of the leaves shading off, as the lighter branches and twigs are reached, into 
feathery bunches of bluish-green through which filters a tender silvery light. 
Other smaller trees grow on the right, and a tangle of undergrowth fills the spaces 
between the trunks. On the left, the side of a low hill has been broken away for 
building stone. A workman, buried to his knees, is busy at it, and a high two- 
wheeled cart, heavily laden with blocks of stone and drawn by two horses, is just 
being driven away. Beyond, the low hills sweep to the right, and the gleam of a 
large body of water catches the eye. The sky is a light blue, covered with gray 
clouds, from between which the sun casts a pallid light, falling full upon the cart 
and the immediate surroundings and making ill-defined shadows over the rest of 
the picture.

GOOD COMRADES 


A fisherman, left in charge of the baby, is captivating its interest with a toy 
soldier. The child is seated in one of the baby-chairs characteristic of a Dutch 
household ; her head, encased in a rosy cream cap, showing against a blue scroll- 
work of the chair-back. Her hands are laid on the tray in front of her, as she eag- 
erly watches the red and blue figure, which is held erect by the fisherman. The 
latter wears a silvery blue woolen cap and jersey, the short sleeve of which dis- 
plays a red undersleeve. His figure, seen to a little below the knee, leans forward 
in an armchair, so that his face is in profile, looking toward the right. Behind the 
child’s seat, on the right, is partly visible a chair, on which lies some knitting. 
The wall of the room is of dark grayish-olive tone, broken with silvery lights.

Farther back on the right stand three handsome oaks, whose white bark catches a 
brilliant light, while their tall masses of yellow and green leafage spread finely 
against the sky. The latter is a grayish-blue, interrupted with a few puffs of white 
cloud and overarched with a canopy of dove-gray vapor. The vista of level fore-

The lower sky is filled with grayish vapor, which grows whiter toward the 
zenith and shows intervals of blue. There isa stir of breeze, but the light, though 
veiled, is warm and gives a liquid quality to all the hues. In the foreground lies a 
stick of timber, at the end of which a brown dog and a white one stand facing each 
other. Beyond them a stream of shallow water crosses the picture, its surface 
sprightly with reflected tints. A white cart-horse, a blue cloth edged with red on 
its back and a blue coat hanging over the flap of its collar, is standing in the water. 
The wagoner is seen behind it, dressed in blue blouse and golden brown breeches. 
He holds up a stick as he turns the horse with its head down stream, so that two 
oxen which are yoked behind it may have free way with the hay-cart which they 
are dragging down the little slope that leads to the water. One of the oxen is a 
pale dun, its yoke-mate white with redddish-brown head and neck. The two 
wheeled cart is piled high with hay that glistens in various tones of green. Be- 
hind the cart follows a man in shirt sleeves, with a fork over his shoulder, accom- 
panied by a woman in a brownish plum dress, white cap and apron, and a boy 
who is frisking with a dog. Behind this group the meadow recedes to dull pur- 
plish hills along the horizon, which appear nearer on the right and become green. 
The scene is inclosed on the right by the end of a thatched barn, its drab walls 
rising close beside the stream. Near it stand four slender trees with delicate leaf- 
age that grow out of a mass of deep green shrubbery.

A narrow river, its crystal waters sparkling in the brilliant sunlight, winds 
through a luscious landscape at the foot of a noble group of trees of heavy foliage. 
The nearer low bank in the foreground has taken a deep emerald hue under the 
umbrageous canopy, while across the stream the higher bank slopes to a broad 
meadow bathed in sunshine, and revealing tender greens, with suggestions of light 
yellows, in its luxuriant vegetation. Fleecy clouds of rounded contours float in a 
turquoise sky over hillside and meadow and the blue summits of distant mountains.

gather the precious leavings of grain, one standing, a bundle of sheaves under her

exhausted, who in the heat of the day has thrown himself down upon a bundle of 
hay or grain which lies in the grateful shadow of a haystack. Back in the middle 
distance rise other stacks, a rich golden tone, with contrasting transparent shad-

INTERIOR AT SCHEVENINGEN 


At a window within a cottage room two young peasant women and a small 
girl are grouped about a table eating a frugal meal. The two elder wear quaint 
headdresses. She at the right is seated, her knitting in her lap where her left hand 
rests still holding on to it. Her right elbow rests on the table, and with her right 
hand she holds a cup she has just taken from her lips, which, still open, give to 
her features the suggestion of a listless smile. Across the table, at the opposite side 
of the window casement, her companion stands, a loaf of bread held against her 
breast with her left arm. She has paused in the act of cutting a thick slice and is © 
gazing at the floor in vacuous contemplation, while the child, who has been munch- 
ing bread, looks wistfully up at her. A deep blue spread covers the table and 
across it are lying the dried herring of the lunch. The sunlight throws the shad- 
ows of the window frames upon the curtains, and falling on the red carpet bright- 
ens this cozy corner of an humble room. The seated girl wears a brown waist 
and a bluish-green skirt, the one standing, a rose waist and brown striped skirt, 
while the child has a red skirt and striped overdress. Against the wall is seen a 
corer of the china cupboard.

HOLLAND MEADOWS 


The picture, which remained for a long time in the studio of the artist, and | 
was considered by him to be one of his best productions, shows a characteristic 
scene in the broad plain of Holland under a moist sky full of low-hanging sum- 
mer clouds. In the foreground a group of spotted cows reposes in the sunlight — 
after a morning’s browse on the rich grass of the meadow. In the middle distance 
on the left is a clump of trees overhanging the entrance to a pasture beyond. The 
wide, level meadow which stretches away to a low horizon in the extreme distance 
is dotted with cattle, and among the trees on the sky line on the right are sugg 
tions of a tree-shaded village. , Ae Reka an

KIOSQUE DES EAUX DOUCES 


A small pool in the foreground reflects the white stucco walls of a handsome 
fountain. Its square structure curves out at the top into wide eaves, in the hollow 
of which are drowsy red-gold shadows. It is surmounted by a white central cu- 
pola, and four smaller ones. A figure in a geranium-colored jacket and brown 
skirt stands in the act of filling a blue pitcher. Other gaily dressed figures are dis- 
posed on the right, the centre of the group being a hooded wagon, decorated with 
yellow mouldings, to the pole of which are attached two white oxen. It appears 
to be a harem carriage, and the ladies have alighted and are seated on the ground. 
At the back of this vivacious scene is a grove of golden-brown and yellow trees, 
beyond the trunks of which appears a horizontal line of deep blue water. Its fur- 
ther bank is edged with the rosy yellow buildings of a city, the sky line of which, 
on the right, is interrupted by a towering mass and two minarets, which glisten 
white against the sky. The latter is bright robin’s-egg blue, streaked with lazy 
layers of white and cream.

BULGARIAN SMUGGLERS 


On a rough rocky eminence a band of Bulgarian smugglers, with their shaggy 
unkempt horses, have halted on one of their unlawful excursions. A strong gale 
is blowing and the horses are huddled together for shelter, while two of the smug- 
glers are seated on the rocks nearby in attitudes of patient expectation. On the 
right of the scene, beyond a pony scrambling breathlessly to the summit, is a view 
over a sunlit plain, with a dimly seen collection of buildings, evidently the first 
frontier town.
